I would contact the .

But my uneducated 'laptop-lawyer' prediction is that you cannot be charged for additional months and cannot recover your deposit. Granted, I really don't have anything to back that up- just going from the gut :wink:

Good luck!

Thanks for tip! I didn't know there was such a thing. I will call them tomorrow.

What bothers us the most is the fact that he has posted it for 8.5% more than 10 months ago, with the idea that he is going to get money regardless.

Only one person has come to see it and they have seen 15 houses in the area in the last few days which seems to confirm our suspicions that the asking rent is likely too high and there are lots of houses for rent.

Just to let you know. I did talk to these people and they said that if the house is advertised for 18% more than we are paying, we could argue that "it was not a reasonable effort to mitigate tenants losses" Also she pointed out that the dates on the lease are for 366 days and it is not notarized so it is automatically month to month.

Unfortunately, those are things that would have to be fought in courts and we are not sure it is worth it for one months rent.....so, we are probably just going to keep it until the lease is up in Dec and then he can do whatever he wants.
